Description of the problem	I have a 2008 f-250 s/d manufactured 02/08 at the kentucky plant. This vehicle was purchased new in april 2009 and now has just under 8000 miles on the odometer. I have twice experienced uncontrolled involuntary acceleration with this vehicle. The common elements of this have been that it occurred after a period of extended driving at about 70 mph, using cruise control, just after an exhaust cleaning cycle, and when i overrode the cruise control to accelerate to pass a vehicle in front of me. When pulling back in to the traffic lane, the vehicle continues to accelerate and can be controlled only by maintaining heavy pressure on the brakes until a safe location can be found to pull off the road and cut off the ignition. A restart in neutral will result in an immediate run-up in rpm which requires a shut down of the ignition. There are no "check engine" or "service engine" lights displayed, and according to ford dealerships, no codes registered in the pcm. In both cases i have been able to correct the problem and continue to drive the vehicle (without use of cruise control) by pressing a "reset" button located on the top of a white sensor located in the air intake duct on the right side of the engine compartment. Ford says they are unable to duplicate the problem and consequently cannot "make a fix". I am most concerned because this is a significant safety issue.
